F1, Gp Brazil crazy: Verstappen’s masterful comeback, title close. No podium for Leclerc

Max Verstappen wins an incredible Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix and moves ever closer to his fourth world title. The Red Bull driver, who started from seventeenth position, è was the protagonist of an incredible comeback, making the most of the twists and turns and circumstances that favored him during a crazy race between rain, safety cars, accidents and red flags on repeat.

Surprisingly on the podium with him were the two Alpine team drivers: Esteban Ocon finished second, while Pierre Gasly è third. George Russell (Mercedes) finished fourth, while Charles Leclerc è fifth with regrets after an off-track.

Sunday to forget for Lando Norris: having started on pole, the McLaren Englishman made a wrong start by being overtaken by Russell; later è he was heavily penalized by a safety car and then made a mistake after the restart at the end of another, slipping just to sixth. Now the World Championship è a mirage for him.

Also in the Top 10 were Tsunoda, Piastri, Lawson and Hamilton. Not finishing the race was Carlos Sainz, who ended up in the wall on lap 40.
